The Charlton Athletic Museum recently inducted Bob Bolder, Chris Solly and Kim Dixson into the club's Hall of Fame, with Billy Kiernan also honoured with a posthumous Hall of Fame award.
The Colin Cameron Supporter of the Year award was presented during the evening, with lifelong Addick Clive King receiving the accolade in recognition of his outstanding support for the club.
King has been a supporter for over 55 years, having attended his first game in 1970.
"My friend took me to a few games in 1970/71, when I was about 17," he explained. "I remember we won 2-1 in my first game - there was a load of Cardiff fans walking around the East Stand before the game! It all kicked in the following season in 1971/72. I missed three games when I went on holiday and in 1974/75 I missed just one game. From then on, I saw all of them!”
Like every Charlton supporter, King looks back on the club's play-off successes with great fondness.
"I have a real connection with the club, you never know what's going to happen. When we won League One in 2011/12 that was a real highlight, as well as the two play-off games against Sunderland and the Orient one was also good."
King felt honoured to win the Supporter of the Year award, which was awarded to Norman 'Headphones Norm' Barker in the previous year.
"It was unbelievable really, I knew Norm who won it last year. When I got the nod that I was in contention for it, it was really nice to be thought about."
King received his award alongside 2026 Hall of Fame inductees Bob Bolder, Kim Dixson and Chris Solly, with Billy Kiernan's son Peter, who now lives in Vancouver Island, Canada, accepting the award on behalf of his father.
Peter said: "This trip started with a 10-hour plane trip. I came over to the UK for this - I hadn’t been to The Valley in over 20 years and that was probably my last visit to the UK as well.
"It's nice for my Dad to be honoured, it only took 60 years to get him here, but the stats you can’t deny. 400 games, 100 goals on the left wing and a club captain for 10 years!
"I used to come to every home game from being old enough to be left alone for 90 minutes!
"I was here for the 7-6 match against Huddersfield! I can remember the crowd invaded the pitch and they had to bring the team out to make a speech.
"It's been 20 years since I've been here - I bet I scored 1,000 goals as a seven-year-old on that pitch! I do want to thank everyone that voted my dad into the Hall of Fame."
Solly, who made more than 300 appearances for the Addicks during a stellar playing career and now coaches the club's U21s, expressed his pride.
"It 's a massive honour and I'm really proud," said the former defender. "Looking at the names on the board, I'm proud to have joined them. I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who voted for me."
"I didn’t think when I joined at that age, I'd be in this position now. The only thought I had was can I break through to the first team? Once you're in the first team, you need to hold your shirt and hold your place and that was my mindset when I was in it. I never rested and took it for granted - being a first team starter was my mindset every season, so to rack up over 300 appearances was brilliant really.
"The promotions stand out as highlights, but my best season was the first one back in the Championship after the 2011/12 season. I was young going into that season, pitting myself against wingers that have played in the Premier League and going up against them was what I loved the most."
"Coaching at Charlton is the next best thing after playing - the club is renowned for producing talent. There are four, five, six lads who I see who could have good careers in our first team and that's exciting."
